I have used essential oils for over almost 2 years now.
I got my started kit almost 3 years ago but didn’t do much with it. UNTIL my husband came home from a hard training and would wake up in the middle of the night yelling things and having vivid dreams. We put some lavender and peace and calming in the diffuser and it was like magic. For a full week we used it and there was no waking up, yelling, or crazy dreams. We still use lavender at night but it was that week when I realized that maybe there WAS/IS something to these oils.
Now I use them for everything, sickness, calming, sleep, motivation, focus, health, all of the things. And because of them, we have recognized the harms in some of our other home products. We have switched to a lot of non-toxic products. Changed out our body soap, toothpaste, deodorant, my makeup, and our kitchen and bath cleaner.
Oils have really changed what we pick out at the grocery store and made us more aware of what we are using and putting in our bodies. We are still on a journey to eliminate toxic stuff from our home and to keep pursuing a cleaner and healthier home.
Then It Doesn't
